Seeds of progress: Opportunities in agriculture to reduce carbon emissions

In the fifth episode of Navigating to Net Zero, host Rebecca Darst talks with Paul McDougall, Paraway Pastoral Company Limited’s [Paraway] Natural Capital Manager, about how Paraway and other Australian farmland managers are leveraging the livestock and natural assets they manage to decarbonise their operations in a sustainable way and in line with the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) Paris Agreement goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Paraway’s holistic, “whole-of-farming” approach and how it’s designed to reduce methane emissions by 30% and use processes that are natural to ruminating animals and farmland
• The effect genetics have on growth rates and fertility and how that, in turn, influences emission reduction efforts
• Better grazing practices and how they can aid in sustainability efforts and enhance the carbon cycle
